Shopping & Services

A stationary store is opening a second location, this time at Town Square.

Those looking for custom printing, personalized stationery, creative gift wrapping and unique gift ideas may be in luck as Chicago-based Paper Source made its way into the Las Vegas area, opening a store at Tivoli Village on June 6 and a second location on July 11 at Town Square.

Two new retailers and a barbecue restaurant are slated to open at Town Square Las Vegas.

Shoppers will soon be able to browse through items at Cariloha, a store filled with products made from bamboo, and Paper Source, a store stocked with fine papers, invitations, and greeting cards. Cariloha will open in May. Paper Source will open in July.

The shopping center is also welcoming a southern-style barbeque restaurant called Pot Liquor CAS, which stands for Contemporary American Smokehouse. The restaurant will open in August.

Also opening this summer, GameWorks the video game arcade and lounge area has moved from the Las Vegas Strip to the shopping center.

Goodwill is building a new retail and drive-thru donation center on Rainbow Boulevard near Warm Springs Road.

This is only the second time in the charity's 40-year history of serving southern Nevada that it has built a new retail store from the ground up.

Usually, the nonprofit leases space for its stores and donation centers. The new store will feature a 12,000 foot sales floor, a donation sorting space and a drive-thru donation center.

“Our new Rainbow-Mardon store is truly groundbreaking in every sense of the word,” said Steve Chartrand, Goodwill of Southern Nevada President & CEO. “Typically we lease existing retail space. To be able to design and build this store to specifically suit our needs is an incredible accomplishment.”

GameWorks will launch a new prototype entertainment center, Town Square officials said, which will feature lounge-like bowling, a laser tag arena and a tournament-ready, 100-seat LAN gaming center for online console and PC gaming.

The shopping area will host two free Easter egg hunt sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. During the sessions, hunts will be announced every 20 minutes.

Registration for the morning session starts at 8 a.m., with the hunts going on between 10 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. Registration for the afternoon session starts at noon, with hunts going on between 2 and 4:40 p.m.

Egg hunts will be limited to 80 kids per hunt. Kids will be divided by age group 1 to 3 years, 4 to 6 years and 7 to 10 years. Children should bring their own baskets to take home their treats.

The Easter Bunny will be on hand for photos. A portion of proceeds from the photos will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Two new restaurants will be opening at Town Square shopping center in March.

Bonefish Grill is a free-standing location on the north side of the shopping center near Texas de Brazil. It specializes in fresh fish and wood-grilled menu items. The new restaurant is owned by the same company that owns Brio Tuscan Grille.

The second restaurant to come to Town Square is a long-time Las Vegas favorite. An outpost of Capriotti's Sandwich Shop will open on the second level above Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge.

When these new restaurants open in March, Town Square will have 16 restaurant options.

Santa Claus arrives at 7 p.m. to lead a parade through the shopping center to his Santa house in the park. Once he arrives at the park, he’ll light the 45-foot Christmas tree and snow will start to fall. Following the snow, children will be able to get their pictures taken with Santa.

Santa will be available for pictures November 17 through December 24. The hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. He takes breaks between 1 and 1:30 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, he takes a break from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Santa also takes reservations. You can reserve your place in line by texting 913-752-XMAS or go to mytowsquarelasvegas.com.
